Y'all need to start drinking Margaritas, Tequila is fantastic as long as it's not generic cheap shíte.

Never had a margarita, but tequila or not, Id be open to trying one!

One of the afrershocks, think its the red one, tastes like marzipan, awful!

iDave · 13-03-2015 03:06PM

Any of those boring generic lagers. Carlsburg, 'Heino', Coors Light, Bud.

I can pretty much drink anything as long as it's not advocaat. Or anything else with eggs come to think of it.

I rather like the bitters like Fernet Branca and Unicum and Gammel Dansk ...

Oh hell ... my first visit to Denmark, I stayed wth friends who served up Gammel Dansk with herring and rye bread for breakfast. The name translates to "Old Danish" ... Old Danish what? Boots? Weasel droppings?

I once had misfortune of spending a whole evening drinking homemade Chinese apple brandy.Sweet mother of god...

That's one weird drink. Looks/tastes like custard in a bottle until the dirty aftertaste hits you. Rotten stuff!

Limoncello? Given that they've given us that, Galliano, Sambuca and Grappa, I think Italians should just give up trying to make nice-tasting liqueurs.

Limoncello can be nice in some cases, I had some home made stuff once made straight from a lemon tree at the back of the house where it was made. Very nice indeed.

Sambuca? I used to drink that a lot too. I was usually drunk at the time though

Something white spirit like in a plastic bottle from a random man in Bali. :mad:

Craft Beers.

Yeah all of them.

Have you tasted all of them to come to that conclusion?

I had a glass of Marsala wine in Sicily. Its brutal and they gave us some biscuits to dip in it.

All the Aftershocks are bad but I've never downed a shot of the green one without puking.

Terrible, absolutely terrible.

That Fat Frog stuff... awful just awful

Do people still drink that?
Or alco pops for that matter.

Hans Bricks · 13-03-2015 09:18PM

Karpackie and Carlsberg, especially in aluminium form. The Devil's piss.

Rubberlegs · 13-03-2015 09:26PM

Can't remember the name of it but it's a cocktail from Lidl, it has tequila in it and is lemon flavour. It tastes like what I would imagine Flash tastes like.
Radlers beer with lemon in it. They were giving out free little cans of it in the supermarket. Watery sh1te, then I realised it was only 2% alcohol anyway.
Southern Comfort, it tastes like sugary whiskey

willmunny1990 · 13-03-2015 09:33PM

Amaretto.

Too Tough To Die · 13-03-2015 09:36PM

It was a spirit, it was extremely cheap and it was in Laos.

Pretty much what the title says, what are the worst alcoholic drinks you've ever tasted? 2 drinks stand out for me, Molson Canadian and Desperados. Molson Canadian is the only beer I've ever encounters that really lives up to the whole "piss" stereotype that many cheap lagers have, it genuinely seems to taste like a Miller that someone took a piss in to me. Desperados on the other hand, I don't mind a sweet drink, I like a bit of tequila, but the sweetness combined with the taste of tequila tastes awful in my opinion, one of the clubs I frequent has this on special offer for 3 euro a bottle, every now and then I'll buy a bottle of it for some reason, with a lime it's somewhat drinkable, but I always end up throwing it out or giving it to someone else before the bottle is even half done. Warm Bulmers is another one, not a fan of Bulmers even when it's cold, but at least it's drinkable then, but when Bulmers is warm, it has a "sweaty" taste off it which is totally disgusting to me.

ditto!

Sambuca is probably the worst I've ever had. I won a big bottle of it in a raffle when I was about 19, got all excited because I had never tasted it before and didn't know how rotten it was gonna be. It was black sambuca, so as well as tasting like a mix of liquorice and death it also looked like ink.

My sister brought me back a small bottle of absinthe from Prague, I imagine it tastes similarly awful so haven't indulged in it yet.

As for some of the other stuff mentioned; I actually like Desperados.

I like the taste of tequila much more than other spirits like whiskey, rum or gin (gin in particular in rotten). Southern Comfort isn't nice on its own but mix it with Sprite and it's lovely. Actually, most things mixed with Sprite or 7Up are lovely!

The cheap lagers like Bud, Heineken and Carlsberg are pretty awful (Coors I don't mind so much because it doesn't really taste of anything) but I wouldn't say they're likely to be the worst tasting things in the world.

sharmander · 13-03-2015 10:55PM

It has to be that Polish blackcurrant vodka I had one... I think I'd rather give up ever drinking again rather then having that ever again.

eternal · 13-03-2015 10:58PM

Nobody has mentioned Sake which is horrible and very astringent.

Maybe homemade would be nicer, or it could just be the brand I've tasted that isn't particularly nice. I'm a bartender in a restaurant and we literally cannot give the stuff away, for good reason. It's not home made though. I stand by what I said about the other liqueurs. Amaretto is nice when used in cocktails but the almond flavour can be very over-powering.

I enjoy a bit of sake when I'm out for Japanese. Have a bottle at home too

Baijiu is horrible nasty ****e

fin12 · 14-03-2015 02:24AM

southern Comfort. Disgusting

Zaph · 14-03-2015 02:43AM

A Czech drink called Becherovka. It would be in the same class of drink as Jagermeister, except that it makes Jagermeister, which is also pretty vile, taste like nectar in comparison.

Son Of A Vidic · 14-03-2015 02:55AM

The vomit inducing píss that is Smithwicks.

entropi · 14-03-2015 03:32AM

Its a toss up between bud or harp. Both make Dutch Gold taste like the best drink you have ever tasted.

Absolutely vile!

Bassfish · 14-03-2015 03:38AM

Drank a home brewed beer in a hut in a township outside Cape Town which was brewed in an old rusty oil barrel.
Surprisingly it tasted like someone brewed beer in an old rusty oil barrel!
Beyond vile but the locals seemed to love it!

extra gravy · 14-03-2015 03:58AM

Blue and red aftershock mixed...not sure what it's called...purple haze maybe? Christ. That and sambuca. Horrible stuff.

Worst alcoholic drinks you've ever tasted?
